In plain words: The black and white snapper changes a lot as it grows. A baby is black with big white patches. It has very long fins under its belly. As it grows up, the white patches fade away. A grown-up is gray to black, with black fins and eyes.
Macolor niger, the black and white snapper, is prized for the bold black-and-white pattern and long belly fins of young fish, a look that fades to gray and black as it matures. This is a small-to-medium fish, but adults can reach about 30 inches, so it needs 300 gallons or more. Start new fish on live or enriched foods, use a tight lid, and keep it away from small fish and crustaceans.
